Virginia has become the data center capital of the world, powering everything from social media and streaming services to the rapidly growing artificial intelligence industry. But as massive tech campuses continue to pop up across the Commonwealth, many residents are asking a simple question: Who really benefits?
Tonight, host Arrington Gavin takes an independent look at one of Virginia's biggest economic and political battles. Are data centers creating jobs and generating much-needed tax revenue, or are local communities paying the price through increased energy demands, environmental concerns, and changes to their neighborhoods? Should Virginia continue to welcome Big Tech with open arms, or is it time to rethink the balance between economic growth and quality of life?
Join the conversation as we break down the facts, the politics, and the competing interests behind Virginia's data center boom. Whether you're excited about the future of AI or worried about the impact on your community, this is a discussion that affects every Virginian.
